The impact of a facility is quantified by conducting a site noise survey to determine how its noise will compare with the noise norms of the community.

Thornton who is a community noise expert can work with the owner and community to agree on objectives if needed. Good planning and engineering controls are used to avoid noise problems.

A progressive community will adopt modern noise ordinance to avoid issues. A well written ordinance will use zoning and time of day to establish noise limits. Maximum noise level limits will control and help reduce noise in addition to avoiding new problems. Dr. William (Bill) R. Thornton is a highly qualified community noise expert consultant who has written modern comprehensive noise ordinances that are practical & pragmatic and are tailored to the needs of a community or city.
